Nikon D700 and Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 AF-G lens. Camera at 400 ISO and 1/640th. Lens at 28mm and f/3.3.
The Nikon 28-80mm G lens weighs seven ounces (190g) and is a testament to what can be done with 21st century plastics technology and sticky tape. It boasts a compound aspherical element. I don’t know what that is, but it seems to work nicely.
I bought this lens two-and-a-half years ago for £39 with a guarantee from a dealer. They probably go cheaper on internet auction sites despite Ken Rockwell inflating their value by revealing their optical capability.
Think how much better the photograph above might have been if I'd concentrated on what I was doing and stopped the aperture down a couple of f/stops.
